Talk:Osmosis/Quick Install (Windows)

Jump to navigation Jump to search

As currently written this page isn't really useful (i.e. you can't follow it and then run osmosis). Some of the advice (e.g. to install stuff below C:\Program Files (x86)\ is questionable for other reasons too). Currently trying to figure out what it ought to say instead --SomeoneElse (talk) 11:25, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

A bit more to this - currently as packaged osmosis doesn't work on Windows (at the very least the batch file tries to access an old classworlds launcher jar, and the readme tells you to move a file that you haven't created). --SomeoneElse (talk) 11:55, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

The currently packaged osmosis (2015-10-08) refers to an older plexus-classworlds jar. The correct version is plexus-classworlds-2.5.2.jar. This needs to be corrected in osmosis.bat --User:kleppur_e15

There's a version at https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/osmosis/releases/tag/0.44.1.5 (library version and documentation; no actual code changes) that should work better on Windows.

The bit about osmosis.bat being broken seems to be no longer correct. I just followed the instructions exactly, didn't have to change the jar version (was already 2.5.2) and got osmosis to run without a hitch. I'd delete this bit in the article or at least change it to osmosis.bat "may" be broken Cryzeb (talk) 07:26, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

@Cryzeb that's great - I've not used osmosis on Windows for a while; so I'd suggest that you edit the wiki page if it's currently wrong. --SomeoneElse (talk) 09:23, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
